Overview of Cytobank anatomy and organization, basic concepts

1.Experiments: An Experiment is the base level of organization in Cytobank. All data and analyses exist inside an Experiment. Experiments can be organized into Projects, and all your Experiments can be accessed from the Inbox.

2. The Inbox: The Inbox is the first page you are directed to upon signing in to Cytobank. It contains the Experiments you own or have permission to view. Experiments in your Inbox can be searched, filtered, and organized with Labels. Clicking on an Experiment from the Inbox will open it.

3. Sample Tags: FCS files in isolation aren't as valuable without contextual annotations. Sample Tags are the way in which experimental and scientific variables are assigned to FCS files in Cytobank. Annotating with Sample Tags is useful for a number of reasons:

5. Advanced Analysis: Advanced Analysis is the summary term for algorithms designed to bring a new level of sophistication and automation to your scientific workflows. Accessible computational analysis is a staple of the Cytobank platform and the future of single cell analysis. Read more about Advanced Analysis methods available in Cytobank.
